numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11880 Posts	Posted 10/19/2022 5:56 pm 63 maybe 64. Hit below stars 8-10 in obv. Random hits inside and above the V in reverse. They look very minor but they are in the focal center of the reverse. Otherwise a great looking coin with booming luster. IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 10/19/2022 11:50 pm Agreed, possible MS63/64, but sure does look dipped to me. May just be the lighting. Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36724 Posts	Posted 10/20/2022 10:19 am Looks MS-63 to me. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18657 Posts	Posted 10/20/2022 11:07 am MS63. I think the broken luster keeps it short of 64 Report this Post to the Staff
JTCC Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 10/20/2022 11:30 am I agree with MS-63. Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 10/20/2022 12:33 pm MS63 By 1883 the Mint still hadn't figured out the right combination of planchet alloy, die composition and strike pressure to make 5 cent coins without die failures, despite 18 years of practice. If you like V nickels and die oddities, 1883 is your year. Tons of varieties of die cracks, die chips, die breaks with and without field displacement, and all manner of little quirks to be found.
